Allegations of Misrepresentation

On January 18, 2022, an investor alleged that William Deichmann misrepresented the risk associated with a covered call option strategy, causing the investor to suffer unspecified damages between 2019 and 2022. This dispute was denied.

Investors should know that firms can deny disputes without any external review. Investors can still pursue FINRA arbitration after a denial and potentially recover their losses.

Call options are a risky trading strategy that will likely result in a loss for the investor. 

FINRA Rule 2020

FINRA Rule 2020 forbids brokers from using deceptive, manipulative, or otherwise fraudulent methods to influence investors’ decisions. This includes the misrepresentation of any risks, benefits, or costs associated with investments.
